Abstract

A system and method for quickly and easily making selective mobile device content available to other devices on a network. The mobile device includes a web server/http server. The user is provided with the ability to designate text, messages, audio files, images, video files, and other information for publication, upon which the respective files are copied or transferred to the web server/http server and therefore made available to other devices within a network.

Claims

1. A method for selectively making material on an electronic device available on a network, comprising the steps of:

selecting an object on the electronic device;

placing the object on a web page located on the electronic device;

placing the object on a server located on the electronic device; and

making the object on the server available outside of the electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the selection of the object includes actuating an icon on a display.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the selection of the object includes selecting an option from a drop-down menu on a display.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of, after selecting the object, having the electronic device inform a user that the selected object will become available outside of the electronic device.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of automatically registering the object with a search engine.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the object is selected from a group consisting of a MMS message, a SMS message, an audio file, a video file, a text file, and an image file.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of enabling a user to define rights to the object for those outside of the electronic device.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of selecting one of a plurality of templates for displaying the object on the web page.

9. A computer program product for selectively making material on an electronic device available on a network, comprising:

computer code for selecting an object on the electronic device;

computer code for placing the object on a web page located on the electronic device;

computer code for placing the object on a server located on the electronic device; and

computer code for making the object on the server available outside of the electronic device.

10. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the selection of the object includes actuating an icon on a display.

11. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the selection of the object includes selecting an option from a drop-down menu on a display.

12. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising computer code for, after selecting the object, having the electronic device inform a user that the selected object will become available outside of the electronic device.

13. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising computer code for automatically registering the object with a search engine.

14. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the object is selected from a group consisting of a MMS message, a SMS message, an audio file, a video file, a text file, and an image file.

15. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising computer code for enabling a user to define rights to the object for those outside of the electronic device.

16. An electronic device, comprising:

a controller;

a server operatively connected to the controller, and

a memory unit operatively connected to the controller and the server, wherein the memory unit includes;

computer code for selecting an object on the module;

computer code for placing the object on a web page located on the electronic device;

computer code for placing the object on the server; and

computer code for making the object on the server available outside of the electronic device.

17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the memory unit further includes computer code for automatically registering the object with a search engine.

18. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the memory unit further includes computer code for enabling a user to define rights to the object for those outside of the electronic device.

19. The electronic device of claim 16, further comprising:

a display operatively connected to the controller, and

an input device operatively connected to the controller, wherein the object appears on the display for selection by use of the input device.

20. A module, comprising:

a controller;

a server operatively connected to the controller, and

a memory unit operatively connected to the controller and the server, wherein the memory unit includes;

computer code for selecting an object on the module;

computer code for placing the object on a web page located on the electronic device;

computer code for placing the object on the server; and

computer code for making the object on the server available outside of the module.
